Spotlight on Half-Pinoy Enrique Iglesias
April 30, 2007 by cd
Enrique Iglesias is a Miami-based singing sensation and multimillion-album seller. Enrique is son of famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler. He is the brother of Chabeli Iglesias and Julio José Iglesias.
After the widely publicized kidnapping of his grandfather in Spain, Iglesias moved to Miami, Florida in 1985, at age 10. While in Miami, Enrique enjoyed the luxury of being the son of a billionaire, but he developed a taste for simpler things, a fact that would later surface in his concerts, where he appeared in plain clothes, including white cotton shirts.
Iglesias first performed while in high school, in the musical Hello Dolly. While attending the University of Miami, he was auditioned by his future manager, who was impressed. Using the pseudonym Enrique MartÃnez, the two promoted his demos across various record labels. Months later, Iglesias was signed by Fonovisa and went to Toronto to record his first album in total anonymity.
Enrique is back with a new album “Insomniac“! Watch the photoshoot of his new album with the carrier single “Do You Know?” in the background after the jump. And by the way, have you noticed that the signature “mole” is gone?!!!
Here is Enrique Iglesias’ photoshoot to the album Insomniac. Release date of the new album and “Do You Know” music video is on June 12.
